Overview
- Environment Canada has a yellow-level rainfall warning in effect from Monday morning through Tuesday morning for large parts of the B.C. coast.
- A robust frontal system moving east from the North Coast will drop the heaviest rain on western Vancouver Island and the central coast with totals near 100 millimetres.
- Metro Vancouver areas north of the Fraser, including Vancouver, Burnaby and the North Shore, may see about 50 to 70 millimetres and strong, gusty westerly winds Monday night.
- Environment Canada assigns high confidence and a moderate expected impact to the forecast and warns of water pooling on roads, washouts near creeks and short, localized utility outages.
- Residents should monitor local alerts, avoid driving through standing water, expect commuter delays into Tuesday morning and be prepared for possible local road closures if conditions worsen.
